A nice treatment of the whole upending expectations based on stereotypes story. The mental state of the narrator comes through and colors her interpretation of what is going on around her. But, she learns and is open, which is refreshing, and I like how the song lyrics were used as a key to her dawning realization. I mean, it looks like you might be one of us....
Ok, this is low key Disney or Dreamworks tear-jerker material. Awesome way it tugs on the heart strings and love the development of the theme that fits the holiday season so well. The path through the woods in the picture is the path Joey and Amy took and the lights around them shine as hope and love, even though Joey didn't think they were for him.
Short but wonderfully captures how so many people struggle during the holidays, Christmas time in particular. But it also has the kernel of hope, which is a key theme in the season, linked to Christian beliefs that transcend religion. The one who has hope, the one who has love, lives differently than the one who does not.
